The black eye skin and the dark grey bill are the diagnostic features of the white-headed barbet. Note the white tail and grey/brown belly and wings flecked with white, characteristic of ssp. albicauda, in these images. The four birds on the left were photographed at Lake Eyasi in December 2009, courtesy of Chris Schmeling and the bird on the right was photographed in the Serengeti (Mara River) in August 2006, courtesy of Gian Schachenmann. |
